... well I didn't tear the car up so that's good. But had my day cut short on account of the brakes.
I had put some EBC slotted rotors and NDX Blue Stuf pads on ... did not get a chance to put RBF-600 in or do the SS lines but was going to take it easy like last time anyway, Anyhoo...all of a sudden the pedal got really stiff, like driving an old car without power brakes. I had to push like incredibly hard to get it to slow down. Didn't happen in a bad spot, thank goodness so I just made it the rest of the way around and hit the pits. The pads smelled pretty bad when I came in. But after they cooled down they seem fine. Drove it to work a few times this week and it still seems fine. I am guessing because the pedal did not go to the floor and got stiff, that my issue was not with boiling fluid. I am thinking the rotors and pads were better than stock, but because they are better they got hotter. Or I may have run the brake booster out of vacuum maybe ? Either way I am going to do the booster canister thing, and get some cooling ducts on the calipers. Any thoughts or input appreciated. ![]()
